Call this song THE UNITED STATES BLUES!
How much better is the first U.S. Blues over Wave That Flag? To me WTF bordered on the DayJob of 73. So yes, Garcia fumbles the first few bottle rockets on
...
2/22/74 (see opener & soundcheck) but the biggest problem that USELESS had was Location, Location, Location. Death by ENCORE slot. Otherwise it is a classic Dead tune The Animation for U.S. Blues in the Grateful Dead movie blew my VIRGIN DEADHEAD MIND. also some of the best versions of this tune happened in 1974 Truckin is pandemonium, Weir fumbling the lyrics but the band just wants to jam. They are flying--- compare the tempo of this to the 1st set Loose Lucy. Garcia has to step in before California slides into the sea. Nobodies Fault is slinky. To me this brings up the Pigpen vibe. Not that Pig was religious but that he was so soulful. Love the vocals by Garcia-- this tune works well with vocals or without. Jerry & the band then resume the jam while Phil explores the NFBM riffs. Jerry does an about face and matches Phil's bass licks. Billy brings it home. GDTRFB! Before i even understood the Gospel I knew this song was about GO TO HEAVEN! thank you Jesus!!! When talking of the sweetness of Donna Jean her vibe with Garcia during this tune is like Heaven on Earth. Not sure my smile gets any wider than during this song.
Certainly the most complete show I've had the opportunity to listen to. No real need to go through all the US Blueses, or any of them really, with Garcia
...
forgetting nearly every word of the finally performed version. The Attics in the check sounds sweet, regardless of irate Phil and the limited monitors (sounds like a band name). The Estimated jam is interesting: didn't know they were working on that three years before. Not reviewing this as representative of the year 1974, but of the Dead's entire career, this is a precious jewel. The first set alone is polished and glowing after a slightly rough start, with great sound (great job Charlie Miller, not to mention the Wall of Sound) accentuating the proceedings. For me this is the best sound quality the Dead ever had: in this transitional 73-74 period of their history.

Playing in the Band
Early Slipknot! jam there in Playin' at about 10:15. I don't know when Slipknot officially debuted live, but this is the earliest that I'm aware of. Great

S'ok
Just got done listening to all of the Fall '73 shows. This sounds like they are trying to figure out where they are going next. Lots of mis-cues and

flat-out untuned guitars. I think they are practicing for the greatness that is about to come.
You can really hear each instrument with ease. They all blend so well on this recording. This show may have some missed lyrics and while not the best

of '74, it is still an early '74 show. Don't pass it by.
